In this episode we visit an impressive young lady farmer by the name of Koketso Moloko, on her farm in a place called Molote, which is in a remote area about 45 kilometres west of Magaliesburg in the North West province.
The Moloko family has been farming here since 1994, and when her dad passed away Koketso decided to take charge of the farm – that’s why she calls herself the “accidental farmer”. Her notable education includes a Bachelors degree in Economics, an Honours degree in Business Management and several farming courses. So, instead of building a lucrative career as a financial executive in the city, this smart young woman came back to the family farm which she now runs like a well-oiled business.
This mixed farming operation includes a crop production side, a piggery and a sheep farming aspect. Koketso shows us that agriculture is not just about knowing what to do and how to do it. Planning and budgeting is just as important.
